The function name is unsuitable which might imply that the BSP's
APIC will be initialized here, actually, where it will be done is
almost at the end of start_kernel(). And the CONFIG X86_64 is also
imply the X86_LOCAL_APIC is y.

Correct, but X86_32 can have X86_LOCAL_APIC=n. And by removing the ifdefs
you break that.

Oops. Sorry, the function is replaced by an empty stub for the APIC=n
case. So that's correct.


I forgot to clear it in the change log. I will add this comment to the
change log.

Thanks,

s/virture/virtual/ ?

Why is this function not longer marked __init ?
